Foyer des Arts were a experimental pop duo from Germany founded in 1981 consisting of Max Goldt (vocals, lyrics) and Gerd Pasemann (instruments). They released four original albums between 1981 and 1995, but were on hiatus for most of that time. Today, they are primarily remembered for their minor hit Wissenswertes über Erlangen (1982) as well as being the springboard for the career of Max Goldt, who emerged as a successful humorous writer in the 1990s.
